is hardly to be expected that the Emperor Don Pt nao will attempt to re-unite the two Crowns, howsoever tempted he might be to make the ex periment, in order to have a port to which he may sail, in case a political storm should dissolve his empire, and erect a republic upon its ruins. That such an event may happen is cer tainly within the score of possibility, but of its probability we may reasonably doubt, unless it is hastened by some indiscretion on the part of the Emperor, and such we should deem any attempt to retain the Crown of Portugal, as appendant to or ht union with that of Brazil. Because it would naturally foment rivalries and jea lousies between the two nations, which, in their issue, might chance to leave Don PEDILo, not only not an Emperor, but perhaps not even a King. DON Ahour.r. and the QUEEN, are not without adherents, and these, without doubt, have looked forward to the Crown of Portugal, when in the fullness of time, JOHN VI. was con- signed to the tomb. That event may now- be said to have happened, and these parties will hardly be disposed quietly to resign their expec tations, dr permit themselves to be passed over, when a successor to the throne is wanted. Dos PEntto, will find it, therefore, to be his interest to yield all claim, and accept the dominions he now rules as full indemnification for thole rights with which, as the eldest son of the late KING, lie is invested. However blameable his conduct, we cannot think the claims of DoN Nhouct, can be overlooked, and it therefore appears to us, that in him we see the future King of PORTUGAL. • The Messagero Argentin° to. the 31st Decem ber, arrived this morning, and brings the annex ed intelligence from Buenos-Ayres. AuTio.ts, the Chief who attacked the Government of the Banda Oriental, had died in banishment, and news of the declaration of war by Brazil had leached Monte Video, active steps had in conse quence been taken, with a full determination to prosecute the wnr with vigour. Letters to the 3d of January last, received in town from Buenos Ayres t also say that the Go. yernment had authorised private( ring against Brazilian vessels, and had granted letters of marque for that purpose :-- BUE NOS 'A Y RES. (Prom the Mersagero Argentina.) DEC. 20.—A passenger, who lately arrived at Arroyo de la. China, affirms, that when he was at Hagula, news was received there of the death of Don Jose Artigas in banishment. This man has long been reduced to a suite of insignificance, and his death is of course without influence; but the pernicious fruits of his example has unfortunately hem abundant, and he will always be remembered as the first in the career of disorder. DEC. 23.—M. John George Vermoelen was yesterday ac knowledged in his official character of Consul of his Majesty the King of the Netherlands in the United Provinces of Rio de ht Plata.—By letters from 31onte Video we learn, that the Emperor of Brazil has declared war against the Repub lic of the United Provinces. This declaration was brought by the Brazilian frigate the Paula, which cast anchor in that port ‘m the 17th, after a voyage of eight dart. It was to sail on the 20th with the other ships of the Brazilian squadron, to blockade Buenos Ayres. The Viscount de la Laguna hid received or. tiers to march to the Rio Grande, to direct the war hostilities, which may therefore be expected to commence with activity on both sides without delay. The National Government has taken every means for defending the country, and every thing indi cates that the hour is at hand when the cause of liberty and jus. tice will triumph fur ever on the whole American Continent. On the sth and 12th two divisions, amounting together to 1210 men, marched from Villadel Peron* to join the army o n the Uraquay, and must by this time have reached their desti bstion. _ . Dm. W.—By communications from the Commissioners ap pointed to conclude peace with the Caciques of the South, dated the 13th inst., from Bahia Blanca, we learn that treaties had been concluded with the Caciques who assembled at that place, and that on the 20th they would come to this capital by land to receive the ratifications. By communications from the Government of Codobar we learn also, that the Commissioners of all the Provinces, assem bled in Rio Cuarto, were going to La Laguna del Guanaco to conclude treaties. IVe certainly wish that some means may be found to pre aerve the open country from the alarms to which it is conti nually subject ; but we think that good regiments of cavalry are the best security for every treaty with the savages. On the 25th the Government received dispatches from Gene ral The enemy had not yet made any movement of conse q u e nc e . Th e O riental Army cont i nues to increase in numbers and to improve In discipline, and was soon to act in concert with the army commanded by General Rodriguez. The mail from Chile arrived yesterday, bringing Journals to Ist December. The expedition against Chiloe sailed the 28th of November, under the command of General Freire, Supreme Director of the Republic. The following ships of war belong to it r-- The Isabella frigate, Admiral Blanco; the Lantura frigate, Captain Bell ; th e In dependencia frigate, Captain Cobbett; the A 9 uil ea f r i gate , C aptain W ol t er ; an d the Galvarino brig, Captain Winter.—The Independencia corvette, which sailed the 25th, was to join the expedition.—(Aferragero Argentin() iv Dec. 31.) The Milan Gazette, received this day, contains only the following paragraph worth extracting : NAPLES, FEB. 2t Letters from Rome say, that Messrs. Sebascino del Mato and F. Capranesi, dealers in antiques, having undertaken some excavations 34 miles from Rome on the Via Salaria, and for tunately discovered some statues of the Muses, much resem bling those found at the close of the 18th century in the Tiber. tine territory. They are, Melpomene (the head of which was - found last year), Polihymnia, Erato, and (it is thought) Cal liope. Among them was a superb - semi-colossal head, sup posed to be that of Sappho, well deserving to be in such .company. Two other statues were found, but it is not agreed what they represent ; one may be Urania. Great hopes are entertained of finding the remaining daughters of Jupiter and Mnemosyne.—(Miluti Gazette, March 8.) A Letter from Buenos Ayres, dated Jan. 3, was received this morning at Lloyd's Coffee. House, of which the following in an extract " Part of the squadron cruizing betwixt the Ortiz and Point Indis have already sent in several vessels to Monte Video that were bound to this port, and Admiral Lobo is daily expected up here. " This Government has passed a Law authorizing Privateer ing against the Brazillians, and granting Letters of Marque for that purpose. In compliance with the 2d Article of the Decla ration, vessels loading here are to-day clearing out at the Custom House." A report was in circulation this afternoon, of an Express fro m Russia having arrived in town, but the fact was not ascertained before we went to press, . THE FUNDS.

A gloom hangs over the Market, for which various causes are assigned— His MAJEsTy's health still causes anxiety, notwithstanding the gratifying Bulletin of yesterday—and the situation of European politics is viewed, as becoming yet more precari ous, by the demise of the King of PaaTua.tr.. Conjectures are thrown out as to, the objects of the Duke of WELLINGTON'S mission, which make a sensation that contributes to increase the un settled state of the Market : by some it is as serted, that the maintenance of BEam,tooTTE on the Throne of Sweden, is a principal oh ject of negociation, while others conceive the prevention of hostilities with Turkey, to be the real occasion of the DUKE'S journey, inde pendent of complimentary etiquette. The visit of the Ex-Monarch of Sweden to the Arch. duke CONSTANTINE has given rise to vari. ous rumours on this question, and amongst the rest, of a determination by the late EM PEROR to restore the ancient Family to the Throne of Sweden. Whatever may be the military power of Russia, the financial re• sources of that vast Empire, are at present so disproportioned to its physical strength, that thy' speculators may divest themselves of the appre hension of the new Emperor involving himmelf in hostilities simultaneously with time Swedes and the Ottomans.

LANCASTER, AlAucif 18. AN EXTRAORDINARY CASE: OF ELOPDIENT, or rather of Abduction, has lately taken place at Liverpool, which has occasioned no trifling sensation in the counties of Lancaster and Chester. 31 iss Turner, a young holy of •about 16 years of age, and of more than ordinary attractions both of purse and person, was at the beginning of this month on a visit to a lady of the name of Dalby, at Liverpool. Miss Turner is the only child of Win. Turner, Esq., of Wrigley-hall, High Sheriff of the county of Chester, and the possessor of property, ifgeneml re port is at all to be relied on, to the amount of more than a million sterling. On Friday fortnight a carriage and lour drove up toMrs. Dalby's door, and a letter addressed to Miss Turner was sent into the house, front which the young lady learnt that her mother had been attacked with paralysis ; that she was very de sirous to see her daughter; anti that if a moment was lost, it was apprehended she would be incapable of recognizing her.— Of course no time was lost on the part of Miss Turner. IVhen • she saw the carriage, however, she exclaimed, ". Dear me, this is not my father's carriage ;" but on being assured by the gentleman inside that it was the carriage of a neighbour of her , father's, and that he, though a stranger, bad been commissioned .to conduct her home, •• she did not hesitate to place herself under his protection. The postillinns were ordered to drive •in the direction of Mr. Turner's house ; and, as it- has been since ascertained, they continued so to drive for about 31) miles, when they were di. rested to take a northerly direction. For several days the elopement or abduction remained undiscovered. When, how. ever, it was ascertained that Miss Turner hid not returned home, some friends of the family were immediately dispatched in pursuit of her. They traced them as far as Man. cheater and Huddersfield; ~but .at the latter place they lost all traces of the parties. In the mean time a letter was written to Mr. and Mrs.. 'turner, dated Carlisle, and signed " Edward Gibbon Wakefield," begging them not to make themselves unhappy, for that the writer, Mr. Edward Gibbon Wakefield, had married their daughter.— This statement is not believed ; but the unhappy parents are of opinion that she was carried over to the Continent.— Mr. Wakefield is said to be the son of the author of the Statistical Account of (rebind ; and neither Mr. Turner nor any of his family are aware that Miss Turner had ever even seen that gentleman. He is said, too, to be a widower, and much older than the lady ; and, it is added, that he was married to his first wife under very pecidiar circumstance*. Mrs. Turner is in a State of mind (pike Wes cribable ; and her medical attendants are decidedly of, opinion that if she does not see her daughter in a few days, the shock which she has sustained will be fatal to her. The account of n marriage between Edward Gibbon Wakefield, Esq. and Miss Turner, has been announced in the Lancashire papers, but neither the clergyman who married thetti, n Turner where they wer e m arr i e d, i s ment i one d . Missorthe il i l ss a a c i e d to be by far the richest heiress in the kingdom. THE LATE KING OF PORTUGAL.--401IN VI. King of Portugal, Emperor of Brazil, was born May 13, 1767. From 17112, he governed in the character of Regent, in the name of the Queen, Ins mother, who was affected with mental aliens. tion. He succeeded her in 1 81 7, and was crowned at Rio Janeiro, to which place he had retired on the invasion of Por tugal by Buonaparte ; who, in the hope of seizing his person, lost no time in proclaiming, that the llouse of Braganza had ceased to reign. John VI., while still but Prince of Brazil, married, in 1790, the Infanta Charlotte Joachima, daughter of King Charles IV. of Spain. . oi ..

ItAMSOATE, ARCII 20.--The Jubilee, P a t s h e ll, f rom Carmarthen toLondon, is on the rocks at the entrance of this harbour. The Grocer, Peel, from Selby to'Lonclon, was run down on Saturday night, off Crorner, and sunk ; crew saved. The hope of every man starting into life, is to acquire that independence which will place hint above the world : but, as JOHNSON observed, to obtain this by 46 climbing the steeps of labour," requires years of application ; whilst, by a lucky hit in the Lottery, the hope may be realized for a few pounds in a few days ; and considering how long they have existed in this Country, we can see no reason for the Act of Parliament which abolishes Lotteries for ever,after the present and one more drawing. YORK WHIG CLiin.—A General Meeting of the Club was held on Thursday last. SirGeonas ( -LEY, Bart. iu the Chair. Several Resolu- Lions were passed relative to the approaching General Election, and an Address was voted, assuring the electors that several Gentlemen, whose principles were in favour of economy in public expenditure, and unrestricted toleration, were ready to oiler their services, and calling upon the Electors to reserve their votes. De xteraNG.--The pertinacity with which out brethren of the Emerald Isle sometimes hold their opinion, and the consequences of doubting it, are ably illustrated in the following anecdote, At a party, some years since, an Irish' Gentleman asserted that he had seen anchovies growing on a tree ; un Englishmen present doubted the probe bility, nay, perhaps, the possibility of such a cir cumstance ; upon which, issue was joined by the Hibernian, who immediately called the English man out. They met, and at the first fire the Englishman was shot through the heart. At the ' instant that the poor fellow was springing from the ground by that convulsive action of the 1 muscle which generally attends death so pro. dueed, the Irishman called out, 14 I beg your par don—l beg your pardon—it was capers I meant!" SHERIDANTANA.—AMOng all the persons whose sayings are recorded, there certainly is not one whose wit is more lively and pregnant than SUE• nt na tes, or whose jeux d'ebprit are better adapted for being chronicled ; we are, therefore, not sorry . to observe a volume announced, under the title of 41 Sheridaniana, or Anecdotes of the Life of Sheridan, his Table Talk, and Bon-mots." Many of the best things in this volume, we are informed, have never been printed before. CONDENSED WOOD,—In this age of invention, one of the most singular is that of condensed wood, for which a gentleman has recently ob tained a patent. His idea is to pass the planks, which are to be cut with parallel surfaces, through several pairs of rollers, and the distance between each pair progressively diminishing, so that the sap or other moisture will be forced out of the pores of the wood at the ends and sides of the plank, which will be gradually compress ed, and rendered more solid, without disturbing the grain, thus producing an improvement in the quality of the wood, where durability and hard ness are objects to be obtained.
